I don't see why one can't just use the show categories? If you look through that category you'll get not only the channels dedicated to a certain category (ie The Military History Channel) as well as any shows on other channels that might not fit that category normally. Get a subscription to TV Guide, the new format has an enlarged "what to watch today" section. -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
